Small Round Damask Stud Pin

£112.00

Made by Clodagh Molloy

Small Round Damask Stud Pin, handcrafted in sterling silver by Clodagh Molloy.

This piece is part of the body of work Clodagh submitted for the ‘Collectibles and Curiosities’ exhibition (December 2022), which is a continuation of her research into the Irish Linen industry which was started in July 2022 with the ‘Re-Use + Re-Imagine’ Adornment Project. Clodagh wanted to continue and conclude that project by making jewellery that prominently features the textures and patterns she found in the Lisburn Linen Museum.

Clodagh achieves this by using processes like acid etching, hydraulic press forming, 3d printing, soldering, chain making, enamelling and setting. Her collection also incorporates the damask pattern plate that she found in the Lisburn Linen Museum – her pieces continue the exploration the history and culture of a once prominent industry in Northern Ireland, and will hopefully spark curiosity in both the viewer and wearer of this collection to explore the history of the Linen industry.

Approx 25mm x 25mm x 5mm
